Solved

Hi, Good day to everyone. We are a family of 3 and would be travelling to Europe in May . Our tentative itinerary includes 2 nights in Zurich, then 3 nights each in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Luxembourg. I am thoroughly confused with EURAIL global pass routes . Some have said that the ticket officer has denied validity of EURAIL pass in ICE trains for intercity within Germany. Should I buy separate tickets for inter country travel and take a EURAIL Germany pass . But , that again does not include trams and buses . Also, Should I book seat reservations in advance ? I checked through this website . It said seat reservation is not mandatory. Any advice would be helpful since I have one senior person with me and it would be difficult if there are any last minute issues. Regards.

Hi,I’m an Erasmus student from Germany currently in France. I’m living here from January until May in student accomodation, but I also still have my home address in Germany and will of course live in Germany for the majority of the year. Therefore, my question is whether I can use the one country pass for France while I’m here in France since I technically live here but it also isn’t really my country of residence.

Hello! I am planning a trip for the summer. I would like to train from London to Istanbul, in approximately 2 weeks, and stop in maybe 3-4 places on the way. Happy to use overnight trains. Travelling alone so safety is key. Any advice on routes would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone 😎 I am planning a 2 month trip next year to France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. I am travelling totally by train.With the Global Pass /Continuous 2 month Pass, does that mean it is used from major cities between countries eg Zurich to Vienna to Paris and so on or can it  be also used in say Austria, where I will be for 10 days, between all the towns I want to visit?Hope I explained this well enough to followSue 

There is a national rail strike scheduled for 19 March 2025 in Italy, which is one of our travel days.I’m not sure what happens about ticket validity if we can’t travel on that date and have to do so on another day.We have reserved seats on a particular train (Messina to Palermo) and this constitutes one of our travel days - I’ve already filled in details on our paper Global First Class travel passes.The rules on travel days seem to be quite strict - do we lose that day’s travel?If we spend money on another train do we have to claim that on travel insurance?

SalveSto cercando di prenotare i posti per l’interrail direttamente dal sito. Seleziono tutti i treni che mi interessano e quando vado in fase finale mi da sempre un errore  Spiacenti, si è verificato un errore. Non siamo riusciti a salvare i tuoi dati. Riprova o contatta il Servizio Clienti se il problema persiste. Non riesco a proseguire Inoltre vorrei sapere se c’è una modalità online di prenotare i posti per le tratte gestite da Eurostar in quanto sia da sito loro che dal portale non riesco. Grazie

Hello! I have used these passes before but this time - it just seems more confusing so I hope someone can help.1. On this site - it asked if I wanted to generate a pass cover to use on trains trains - sure?. What is a pass cover? This is different than my Eurail Global Pass so what is this for? Can I book directly on other train sites?2.Also - I already worked out my itinerary and bought my tickets - can I still make a trip plan so I can see it more organized on this site (as well as that I bought some tickets through RailEurope)? 3.My trips show up on laptop but not on app - suggestions? ​​​​​​​THANKS!

Hi, my name is Jonathan and today I found out that I got the EU Pass, and tbh I have no idea where to go. I love Italy (born there) and I go there sometimes, but I feel like I should see something new. I’m from Warsaw, Poland and I will be travelling alone. Also my budget is very low ;p 

I’ve read other questions and answers on the topic of strikes, including great info about guaranteed travel on weekdays and holidays, but haven’t seen anything yet about Saturday travel.  We plan to travel from Innsbruck to Ponte Gardena-Laion on Saturday, 8 March, with a train change to RV 3843 in Brennero at 13:00.  I expect we need to plan a different arrival day in Italy from Austria?  We have a flex pass.

Hi, I’m going to France this April.I have got the App from SNFC, now I can buy ordinary tickets to most trains in France but...going by Interrail means you only have to buy reservations - and on certain trains.On the app I miss the option to book ONLY seat reservations - anyone who has tried the app and actually booked a seat reservation on this app?I know that I can book reservations through Interrail, well, sometimes it´s easier to buy through the rail company.My actual problem is: Going by nighttrain from Paris to Capdenac and then from there going on to Lourdes. I have bougt reservervations the first part Paris/Caperdanac. In the morning I have to take at first a TER-train heading Toulouse and then lastly a Intercite from Toulouse to Lourdes. And then it would be nice to use this SNFC app and buy a seat for the last part - the Intercite train.I know it is not always mandatory on the Intercite trains in France to have a seat reservation. But it might be nice not to rush to much (may

Hi there! I’m a little lost at the moment. I try to get a reservation for a couchette to get from Utrecht Central to Basel SBB on 25-07-2025 departure time 20.47, arrival time 06.20. I can literally see on OBB that there are tickets available, but I don’t have a credit card and therefore am unable to pay. Is there any other way to get such a reservation? I’ve tried with NS international, but as far I can see, you can’t add an interrail card as a discountcard.

How to determine the start date of a global pass?

Hey, I’m located in Thessaloniki, Greece and I’m trying to plan my trip from here. I wanted Barcelona to be my first destination however I can find any roots, not even from Athens. Our railway here is owned by Hellenic Train which doesn’t seem to do trips anywhere out of the country. Has anyone ever travelled from here by train? I need some help. Do I have to go by plane and if so is this covered by the interrail pass?

I would like to make a reservation for my trip in September, does anyone of you know why I can't add it to the cart?

I’m going to 4 destinations in the UK in June. I have my ticket on the Eurostar train from Paris to London. I’m having trouble understanding the other trains, so let me get this straight. For my trains within the UK, I don’t have to have a seat reservation. As long as I save the ride as a journey in the app, on the day of travel, I just show the ticketmaster my phone? I don’t actually have to go through acprail?

Hi All, I am new to Eurail and trying to book a seat reservation from Barcelona to Lourdes.  When I use the Eurail website, it shows the leg of the journey, and there are 4 different legs, with one leg requiring a reservation from Narbonne to Toulouse.  The rest of the leg states “You’re ready to Board.”  My questions are this:When I received my seat reservation in email, it only shows the one leg of the trip, but not the others.  How am I supposed to remember the original time that the train leaves on the leg that I don’t need the seat reservation? Is there an easy way to document the entire trip with all of the different legs on the website, or do I need to write them down?Some of the seat reservations are triple the other ones, but travel in the same amount of time and leave roughly at the same time.  Why are they so much more if there’s no benefit to riding them?Thanks for any assistance with these questions.-Mike

Does anyone know why this says +1 day even though the trip is only 5 hours long and does not extend overnight? 

Hello, I'm going on a trip to Spain & France this coming end of July with my boyfriend & we just bought an EU rail global pass for 5 days flexi (first class).This is our itinerary.Bilbao (Abando) to Madrid (either Chamartin or Atocha)-----30th July 2025 (6am onwards)Madrid (Atocha) to Barcelona (Sants)----1st August 2025 (6am onwards)Barcelona (Sants) to Lyon (Part Dieu)----3rd August 2025 (6am onwards)Lyon (Part Dieu) to Paris----5th August 2025 (6am onwards)Paris to Pontorson---8th August 2025 (6am onwards)Pontorson to Paris---8th August 2025 (4pm onwards)We tried reserving our first class seats on EURail but they only come out around 90 days before. Ive checked other websites like B-Europe & Renfe. Im afraid that by the time EURail reservations come out, all the seats have already been booked by other websites.Any advice would be appreciated.

Would this be an overnight trip and is it possible to book sleeping quarters if it is?

Are England, Scotland, and Wales considered separate countries when using the Eurail Pass?

I want to take the new Berlin to Paris direct (20 July 2025) and want to know about the seat reservation. From what I can find on the DB site that reservations can only be done from 15 days before. Can anyone who took this train please confirmthis?Cheers,Horst 

My problem is that I want to use a night train for my outbound journey. This train starts before midnight and I have to switch trains the next morning still within my own country and then take another train to leave the country. The app splits this into two parts (most likely because the first train starts on a different day). Can I still make it my outbound trip or will it not accept it because the first train is entirely within my country?If you search the same connection in the opposite direction both trains start on the same day and it shows up as just one trip.If it doesn't accept it my current solution would be to use a different train traveling the same direction and the switching to the night train once it is past midnight but that would obviously make it more complicated and add some extra cost.

Hey all! Ok, I am planning a family trip on the train from Paris - Switzerland.  I have added the trains/times that I need, but the train in the middle does not have a way to book a seat.  Since I have it added to my trip, and I am not activating my pass until March 14th, is that ok?  Basically, I am worried that once I activate my pass and get my qr codes, that specific leg of the trip will be full which would totally mess up all the connections. Or since I do have this leg saved to my trips, am I ok?  This is my first time traveling via train if you cant tell, lol.  I have seat reservations for the first one, but the second one is what I am worries about. 

Hello everyone !  I am in a deadlock as I want to travel by train from Sofia to Istanbul, but it's impossible to book a ticket online with the Eurail pass. Every website says I need to buy tickets on-site at the station in Sofia. My first question is, is it really impossible to book in advance, and secondly, is it risky to wait and buy the tickets on-site? Are there frequent trains that make the journey between Sofia and Istanbul?
